Hello, I have to modify my internship report by following the professor’s comments below. You will find attached the internship report that you had to modify by following the instructions in the teacher’s comment. “Compose critical analysis to solve problems in practical and professional contexts for continuing professional development.] Attempts to solve novel and complex problems are inadequate, with little reference to theory and practice What the student did well: Your reflection is clearly structured based accurately on the Gibb’s (1988) reflective model segregating correctly each stage into evaluating your experience. You have written an initial analysis of your placement experience, focusing only on one issue (the small workshop subcontracting production). Next time you complete a similar assignment I suggest that you: Widen the analysis section, reflecting upon all the issues identified in evaluation section. With the use of relevant secondary research you could have nourished your reflection and allowed you to look at difficulties faced from multiple perspectives. Both conclusion and action plan introduce new elements which haven’t been identified in the evaluation section nor considered in the analysis section (for instance patternmaking enhanced skill, flat vs huge volume dress designs etc..). Moreover the action plan should consist of a concrete program you intend to execute in the future in order to improve and evolve professionally. [LO2 Consider and analyse a company organization appropriate to the subject specialism.] There is partial or limited identification of the social and community contexts. What the student did well: You succeed in describing the atmosphere of the small workshop with only few employees, where production is localized in low-cost countries and where there’s only finalization of product with the help of interns. You’ve identified the limits of this kind of working environment for your own professional growth. Next time you complete a similar assignment I suggest that you: You should have analysed in this section the difficulties you met during the internship. Ther’s no connection with you analysis and with the evaluation section. There’s no recurring to secondary sources with the exception of Prasanta Sakar which is plagiarized and not correctly cited. Academic Rigour: You respected and follow the reflective model of Gibb’s (1988) The document is presented with supporting images There’s evidence of plagiarized content, namely in the introduction section and in analysis section. English expressions could be more accurate, proofreading would have been appropriate. Layout and formatting could have been more accurate (you use different fonts). You didn’t follow the MMU Harvard ref. system. You provided an insufficient list of references and bibliography in order to do an in-depth analysis of your internship experience. [LO3 Evaluate own performance within the context of an industry placement, identifying formative incidents and activities.] There is evidence of a limited attempt to work as an autonomous professional who reflects on their own practice What you have done well: Your report present visual content from the internship. You have described your tasks supporting with relevant images of the design process you’ve been involved. You’ve exposed your feeling focusing on different elements such as a new city you had to discover and a working environment in a postcovid expansion of activity. Next time, for a similar assignment I suggest that you: Introduction, aim and purpose should be object of an original synthesis rather than entirely relying on other sources without citation. You should have highlighted explicitly difficulties met during the execution of your tasks, by reporting specific examples of the situations that offered you a chance to grow or learn.” You will also find the explanatory file of the internship report and the steps to follow if necessary.
